Patent EP-1542264-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BEPPU TATSURO
IPC: B08B7/00
Filed: 2003-03-13
Abstract: It is an object to provide a cleaning method in a
CVD apparatus capable of efficiently removing a by-product
such as SiO 2  or Si 3 N 4  which is adhered to and
deposited on the surfaces of an inner wall, an electrode
and the like in a reaction chamber at a film forming step.
Furthermore, it is an object to provide a cleaning method
in which the amount of a cleaning gas to be discharged is
very small, an influence on an environment such as global
warming is also lessened and a cost can also be reduced. 
     An energy is applied to a fluorine compound to react
the fluorine compound, thereby generating a fluorine gas
component and a component other than the fluorine gas
component. Furthermore, the fluorine gas component and
the component other than the fluorine gas component which
are generated are separated from each other so that the
fluorine gas component is separated and refined. After a
film forming process for a base material is carried out
by a CVD apparatus, a separated and refined fluorine gas
is then converted to a plasma to remove a by-product
adhered into the reaction chamber.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for driving converts of an uninterrupted
power supply (UPS), characterized in that the generating circuit of driving
signal for power factor correction generates two driving signals (DRV1, DRV2)
to drive the switch transistors (Q9, Q11) of the positive and negative power
factor correction branch respectively, the holding and shifting circuit of driving
pulse-width after the generating circuit of driving signal for power factor
correction holds and shifts the pulse-width of the two driving signals, and
drives the switch transistors (Q10, Q12) parallel to the aforesaid switch
transistors in the positive and negative power factor correction branch
respectively. Since a circuit for holding the pulse-width is introduced, the
currents of the switch transistors of the two parallel boost converters are
maintained substantially the same, thereby improving the reliability of the
uninterrupted power supply system. As a result, this invention can be widely
used in any application where a UPS is desired.

Dans un procédé, un client introduit un support lisible par ordinateur associé à un produit dans un ordinateur. Un programme informatique sur le support lisible par ordinateur vérifie si les logiciels nécessaires sont présents dans l'ordinateur et, dans la négative, installe les logiciels nécessaires. Le programme peut ensuite directement établir une connexion sur un réseau, tel que le réseau Internet, avec un organisme d'assistance technique associé au produit ou au service fourni. Le support lisible par ordinateur peut contenir un renseignement relatif au produit ou au service fourni et/ou à la langue préférée du client du produit ou du service. La demande d'assistance peut être acheminée vers un assistant humain qui peut être assis à un dispositif informatique. Dans un procédé préféré, l'assistant humain reçoit la demande d'assistance et le client par le biais d'une liaison vidéo actualisée, personnelle, directe, comprenant la voix de l'assistant, et d'un signal vidéo comprenant l'image de l'assistant à l'ordinateur, transmis au client. L'assistant peut obtenir des renseignements préliminaires du client et fournir rapidement une assistance dans un environnement virtuel « face à face ». Lorsque le produit concerné est un produit informatique, l'assistant humain peut éventuellement avoir accès à l'écran de l'ordinateur du client et même manipuler l'écran pour illustrer les performances d'un logiciel donné.
